Its ok - By: Katie99, 31 May 2007 
This book is recommended by the Bristol PGCE. The book is ok, with some useful information - but it is quite dull. I did find it useful when writing alll the essays for the PGCE course.
Learning to teach in the secondary school - By: Sarah, 08 Aug 2006 
Book recommended by Cambridge PGCE reading list. Some valuable information but I always find that the subject specific books in this range are of far more use
too much text - By: , 06 Feb 2006 
reallly helpful book to refer to if u need some help with something in particular. i personallly found it quite difficult to read- lots & lots of text got a bit tiresome.
A good core text but could be improved - By: , 25 Sep 2004 The book is of reasonable use, with tips & advice for student teachers as well as subjects that you are likely to study throughout your course. Useful for assignments too. It would have been better if there was a book for each subject that would relate examples directly to your specialism, rather than unrelated or vague examples. There are books related to english, maths etc but not alll secondary subjects.

Not only does it cover the main issues in teaching such as lesson planning & behaviour management but it also give a useful yet concise guide to other important aspects of teaching such as details on the national curriculum, the psychology of pupils & how to maximise learning for your pupils taking in to consideration different learning styles & abilities.
The most useful aspects were the suggested exercises & issues to consider in order preparing oneself for school placements.
